Funny you mention it, another Tacoma owner had the same issue on his truck, he noticed his faded in the AZ sun over time. I may go this route as I'd hate to cut through the coating, clear and still...

Thanks Tom, ya I was debating just leaving it, its not noticeable to anyone but me, but driving me insane. Figured the coating would have prevented this, the grease was maybe on there for half a day....

Thanks man, ya unfortunately I feel like he's gonna charge me, said about an hour of his time. Whatever road grease that was was potent, I removed it that day and this was the result, would have...

Hey there detailing experts! So this one has me and my detailer scratching our heads. Truck is 4 months old, was ceramic coated day one with CQuartz UK by professional detailing shop. No issues in...

We'll I spoke too soon, it appears to turn black again when wet, once it dries the discoloring is back. Back to square one. Still perplexed what the hell it is and want to keep the coating in tact...

Well I went out this evening like a weirdo and did a real quick spot wash, little agitation and it came out. Wonder what it was, definitely not the iron k, no purple run off or anything. Who knows....

Hmm maybe it was sunset and partially cloudy, but feasible. Suggestions for removing it? Just weird its that one spot.

Cool, thanks man. Ya I wonder too if maybe the soap or something pooled there. I'm hesitant to use an APC since I had the cover coated with CQ Dlux when I took delivery (since I know they fade like...

Thanks, its the Toyota OEM cover. I actually had it coated with CQ Dlux when I took delivery of the truck. So there in theory should be some coating on there, I didnt iron-x the cover but wonder if...

Lol, me too, reason I asked the experts here. Thanks!

Lol, right. So our house has a water softener, but I used just hose and Carpro Reset for the wash (2 bucket method). I did do Iron X between the 2 washes and then followed up with Carpro Reload. My...

Right, not sure how to fix it though. Any ideas?

Hard OEM plastic one. I have some left over CQ Dlux I may just try to recoat that section myself.

Right. I mean they did basically the same process as me, decon with iron-x, maybe when they did the paint correction something they used. Just wondering how I can fix it cause my OCD will drive me...

Anyone seen this with an OEM tonneau? I had it ceramic coated with CQuartz UK and Dlux (plastic including the tonneau) as soon as it left the dealer. Went to do my first wash (4 weeks later) and...

Thanks bud, ya I always 2 bucket garden hose wash as the PW isnt really necessary with a coating, but have to use the touchless PW place up the street sometimes when temps are still just at freezing...

Thanks man, ya I dont mind the appearance of it and with temps below freezing I was more concerned about the salt being on the coating. I always do two bucket wash, and include a hydrophobic booster...

Agreed, I think its okay, we had a day of heavy rain before this sleet / ice / snow event and didnt notice any waterspots, not sure why CP says 2 weeks when most coatings like you mentioned all say...

Nope they told me 24 hours, which it had, it sat in the climate controlled garage for about 48 before I picked it up. Ceramic Pro says not to wash it for 2 weeks, in AZ no big deal when I did my last...

Okay so I had my truck coated with Ceramic Pro 9H while I was out of town for 3 days. Its a DD and sits outside, no way to not be exposed to the elements. It did get about 48 hours cure time in a...
